**UPDATE** Colie Brice and the New Age Blues Experience recently won the 2008 Asbury Park music award for Top Avant Guarde act! "Colie Brice is a true Gemini, a lefty chameleon, who produces extremely eclectic music that ranges from soothing new age blues to tightfisted face melting rock - often recording in manic/depressive bursts of crazy inspiration where he quickly improvises tracks like a one man band utilizing technology to capture the spirit of the moment via a creative approach he terms the “Luna Muse Principle”. With over 200 tracks at iTunes and other leading digital retail outlets, his vivid aural landscapes appeal to discerning listeners more interested in artistic authenticity than the pop flavor du jour." - ASBURYMUSICIAN.com I'm an Asbury Park, NJ based musician and run a local indie label called AERIA Records. I record a lot of original music and have over 200 tracks at iTunes :) As for these current recordings, I generally apply what I term the "luna muse" principle a.k.a. crazy inspiration. I used to be pretty uptight about my recordings and was a relentless perfectionist in the studio - particularly when I was with Phantom's Opera, but then.. well long story short.. I tripped out at a Grateful Dead show and had my whole perspective augmented by an incredibly profound experience. Soon thereafter I started doing a lot of improvisational based recording where capturing the initial vibe, artistic authenticity and feel took a higher precedence over technical perfection. As a consequence, my recordings tend to have a rich organic and deeply personal sound.. If you like what you hear, please consider buying a few of my tunes. Its a scary time to be in the music business. I've spent my whole career as a working musician, recording artist or music business professional and although I do applaud the changes that have occurred via affordable recording technology and digital distribution, I need to earn a living too! I'm a firm believer in the "try before you buy" philosophy and offer tons of free mp3s at sites like archive.org, C-net, the podsafe music network, etc. If you have the means, I would definitely appreciate your support. Thank you :) On a side note, the current band I play with Geena and Dragster was recently nominated for Top Rock Band in the 15th Annual Asbury Park Music Awards. Other previous bands include Gemini, Phantom's Opera, Brian Saint & the Sinners, and a wide variety of stints backing up or recording with lots of other singer/songwriters. My work history includes positions at Mercer County College, PolyGram Records, Market Source, Clean Water Action, Classic Records, TheMusic.com, and Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab. I'm currently a project manager for Asbury Media - an audio mastering & media production facility led by 2X GRAMMY winning audio engineer Tom Ruff. If your in a band and swinging through Asbury Park, we can give you a sweet deal on a killer live recording.
